Which of the following is a major factor in the formation of a supercell thunderstorm?
A. Strong wind shear
B. No wind shear
C. Weak wind shear
D. Subsidence
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Supercell thunderstorms are characterized by a rotating updraft (mesocyclone) and form in environments with strong wind shear (changing wind speed and direction with height), which allows the storm to sustain itself for hours.
Explanation:
A stationary front is the boundary between two air masses where neither is moving, often resulting in prolonged periods of cloudy, rainy weather.
